Question about Small Stakes Turn Check Raises

[Kevin]

As I posted earlier, I have been running sideways for the past 4-6 weeks. As I have reviewed hands, counted errors and taken notes, I have noticed that I am paying off an inordiante amount of check raises heads up.

A hand like TPTK, preflop raise, top pair comes, I bet, get one caller, the turn is a card that makes a hand but not an obvious one (inside straight, etc.), or pairs the board with a low card, I bet, the check raise comes, I call it and call the river bet.

This is happening a lot and I would guess that 85-90% of the time, I am staring at a legitimate hand that can beat TPTK.

I know that this is very general and should be player dependant, but should I fold to a CR on any tight passives or loose passives and call down Tight Aggressives and Loose Aggressives?

I counted errors in a recent -46 big bet session and proper value betting, and not calling down turn check raises would have made up about 30 of the 46 big bets, so I am wondering if it is time to start laying the hands down?

Thanks,
Kevin

(I really, really apologize if the last 3 posts have come off in a whiney tone. I promise that they aren't. I am really trying to find out where in the world my game has gone and am looking for some helpful feedback that can help take care of some leaks that I might have uncovered)

I am having a similar problem. I just feel too weak to fold these hands but it seems that if someone raises turn they would beat TPTK. Is this usually an obvious fold??

In general you should fold to turn check/raises unless...
A) The pot is big enough to warrent a call down.
B) The player is agressive and is just trying to move you off a hand.
C) You think the player made 2-pair, and want to see if the river improves you to at least 2-pair (and you have odds to do so). If it doesn't then fold on 5th street.
D) A scary card hits the turn and you feel like the villian is taking a shot.

When a passive c/r's you on the turn, you are almost always toast with just TPTK. Calling down every turn c/r is significantly -EV IMO.
